About Villa Adrasteia

Located in a quiet olive grove just a short walk from the charming village of Douliana, Villa Adrasteia is a new stone house built to modern standards using classical techniques, making the most of the charms of rural Western Crete.

"Villa Adrasteia is the perfect place to relax on the island. The villa is superbly equipped with everything you need to feel at home away from home. We had a fantastic holiday and made excellent use of the detailed information provided by the owners on places to visit and things to see. Thanks very much for all your help, we look forward to coming again!" - JW

"The most wonderful holiday, we were Crete novices and we have fallen in love with it! We have had the most wonderfully restful and relaxing break and were so pleased to be in such a lovely villa, thank you! The attention to detail was superb." - MP

Detail

An imposing traditional stone arch frames the beautiful cedar ceilings and separates the mezzanine and kitchen areas from the double height main reception. This gives a 'cosy' feel in the out-of-season periods and also an exceptionally memorable and cool living space, full of traditional character during the hotter periods.

Furniture and fittings throughout are high quality and have been carefully selected to fit in with the character of the villa as well as to provide extremely comfortable high quality accommodation.

The Venetian port of Rethimno, the island's intellectual and cultural capital, dominated by one of the most imposing Venetian fortresses on the island is also located a short and easy 30 kilometers from Douliana.

Built by a local master builder and his skilled craftsmen, Villa Adrasteia's accommodation comprises two generous air-conditioned double bedrooms (one en suite) with overflow space for a further two/four people on the first floor mezzanine.

A fully fitted modern kitchen and dining area lies under the mezzanine, leading to a large and airy sitting room with a magnificent stone fireplace. The kitchen is well-equipped with large range gas hob and ovens, microwave, dishwasher and large fridge freezer. The Villa also has a washing machine.

Villa Adrasteia's 8.5m x 4.5m pool is available for the exclusive use of guests. The pool terrace is provided with plenty of sun lougers and parasols to allow guests to enjoy the secluded privacy of the surrounding olive grove with the beautiful mountains in the distance.

The rural village of Douliana with its dramatic backdrop of the White Mountains ('Lefka Ori') is about 25 minutes from the bustling and beautiful Venetian port of Chania, and approximately 35 minutes easy drive from the airport.

Although Douliana village is quite close by Villa Adrasteia itself is located within a large olive grove which provides seclusion and privacy as well as a decent supply of good quality olive oil.
